In just over 90 percent of those cases, according to U.S. Justice Department figures, the perpetrators are black and the victims are white. Violent white felons choose black victims for fewer than 3 percent of their attacks, whereas violent black felons choose white victims about 56 percent of the time. Statistically, the "average" African American is an astonishing 56 times more likely to attack a white than vice versa.<br /><br />And YES...that last god-damned statistic bothers the living SHIT OUT OF ME!!!<br />Obama is the most racially polarizing politician since George Wallace. The white vote shifted dramatically against the Dems. On the other hand, what did they expect after Van Jones, ACORN, and the rest of Dear Leader's fellow "community organizers"?Paulnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-639033898235940977.post-25554552171289167352009-11-04T17:44:01.123-05:002009-11-04T17:44:01.123-05:00Let me start off with a brief DISCLAIMER: I am abo...Let me start off with a brief DISCLAIMER: I am about to give a white, male perspective on race. I can’t give a non-white, or non-male perspective because I am neither of those things.<br />OK, look, sometimes the best way, in fact the ONLY way to kick off a discussion like this is to just “let it fly,” or “come right out with it,” as they say. Alright, let me jump right in here with a list of just a few of the things that bother me about the current state of race-relations in America;<br /><br />Yes, it bothers me that in most locales "urban" (a/k/a/ “predominantly black”) school districts get the lion’s share of the school funding, apparently as a reward for garnering the lowest test scores and graduation rates. I mean it MUST BE a “reward” because we all know that when those same “failing schools” turn over from predominantly black to predominantly Asian (as a number have in places like the South Bronx and parts of California), those same “failing schools,” with the same teachers, the same books and the same old dirty walls, suddenly see test scores rise and drop-out rates fall and THAT is often followed up with budget cuts, so that other or “newly failing schools” can get rewarded with more cash for failures.<br /><br />In nearby New Jersey, over 50% of that state’s school revenues (funded primarily by property taxes) go to just 31 of the state’s 568 districts. Those “lucky 31” are, of course all “urban” school districts. So, while failing school districts like Atlantic City’s and Newark’s get 800% and 600% return on their property tax dollar (that’s $8 for every $1 and $6 for every $1), respectively back in education dollars, suburban communities, like Mendham average a paltry 4% And yes, it bothers me greatly that when covering the incredibly rare white-on-black violent crime, the races of both victim and suspects are routinely published, while the races of those involved in the far more common black-on-white violent crime are rarely, if EVER published. It leads one to erroneously believe that one of those kinds of crimes is somehow “worse than” the other. And YES, again THAT bothers me.Paulnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-639033898235940977.post-78524531962558224532009-11-01T23:43:16.389-05:002009-11-01T23:43:16.389-05:00Susannah: Thank you.

I don't know how Glenn Beck and others continue on day after day, but God bless them for putting the truth out there! <br />But According to several commentators on TV yesterday, they say that a Government run Health Care Bill WILL be passed one way or another over the objections of the people.

They even went so far as believing that the legitimacy of government came from the consent of its citizens to be governed by them, not ruled by them. Indeed, liberals used to embrace a market economy based upon free trade, individual effort, and private property. That is, until the 60's radicals like Ayers, Obama, Dorhn, Pelosi, Feinstein, Boxer, Van Jones, Anita Dunn, etc hijacked the DNC, with the help and money of Soros, and turned it into something short of the Politburo, with them in charge of course. Today, liberals are scornful of virtue, morals, religion, and tradition, while prizing inequality (us versus them, black versus white, middle class versus the elites), a centralization of power, religious intolerance, financial corruption, no freedom of speech, and fiscal mismanagement in waste, fraud, and abuse in Medicare for example), which they remedy by passing higher and higher taxes.Teresanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-639033898235940977.post-25734533675891203862009-10-31T10:34:18.218-04:002009-10-31T10:34:18.218-04:00When Cat and Thresa call for more taxes to pay for...When Cat and Thresa call for more taxes to pay for the Iraq and Afghanistan occupations I will ackowlege their sincerity.

I am so sick of the Left being so pompous and asinine. Politicians in the U.S. didn't learn anything from the huge quagmire that the Soviet Union had with Afghanistan. What's worse is that the Soviets were better equipped and could commit more troops than we can. We never bothered to rebuild the military that Reagan had built up but Clinton distroyed, and now we're in worse shape than the Soviets were. Note to Obama and his socialists: <br />During his appalling UN speech, Obama sounded like a high school kid making a feeble plea for global harmony.<br /><br />He said the concept of a balance of power is outdated and that no country should dominate another country.carolina kathttp://gretawire.forums.foxnews.com/profile/kat-north-carolinanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-639033898235940977.post-50241071855087390432009-10-30T14:28:27.545-04:002009-10-30T14:28:27.545-04:00I never read liberal blogs, I never listen to the ...I never read liberal blogs, I never listen to the Rush Limbaugh lynch mob's.<br /> <br />I felt that calling Rush a racist was a set up.. The whole point of accusing people of “racism” is that it immediately puts them on the defensive with a charge that is impossible to disprove.<br />Since these left-wing morons have absolutely no evidence and were unable to prove he said these things (just made up in their heads), and especially since Rush was kicked off this NFL consortium because of it (hurts his future financial gain), then this should be a slam-dunk. <br /><br />This left-wing crap has to be stopped… is Rush supposed to deny every time a left-wing nutter goes after him? Then he’d be doing that 24/7.<br />Most of the comments here sound like Letterman making such a horrible comment about Sarah Palins daughter. She was with her 14 year old daughter. He assumed that it was the daughter that got pregnant. Then we find out about his immoral activities.<br />Hypocrite at best. People are allowed to make statements about a Conservative without knowing the true story. How many had Rush on to refute all the allegations.<br />So much of this stuff is taken out of contest.<br />Rush is a Conservative and that is why he is being chastised. How many of you have really heard his show or the comments he supposedly made and in its context.<br />Just another example of the liberal MSM trying to destroy anyone with a conservative thought. MSM: “Proof? We don’t need no stinkin’ proof!” <br /><br />And then there’s the racist-baiters Al Sharpton and (Rev., LOL!)Jesse Jackson sticking their noses in this. Who the hell are these guys anyway?! They’re both just sh*t disturbers against anything involving “whites”. And no, I’m NOT a RACIST, just speaking the truth.<br /> If blacks agree with conservative whites then the blacks are of course lower than dirt and an ‘Uncle Tom’.<br /><br />If you’re a left-winger, you can say or do practically anything you want and not only get away with it, but avoid even the slightest of criticisms… even drugging and sodomizing a 13yr old girl is okay.<br />When the left in the US can brand its political enemies racists without any evidence whatsoever – and they are doing this against the Tea Party attendees and anyone else who protests the current administration – then we have arrived at fascism.<br /><br />This is EXACTLY what happened in Germany in the 1920s and 30s when one group assailed another group with the politics of destruction. It is based on ridicule and dehumanization. Make your opponent look evil. Make your opponent seem as if they have no right to politic. Make them not matter.<br /><br />And then they won’t matter to a large swath of the population.<br /><br />How ironic that the country that helped topple the Nazis now has a political movement steeped in Goebbels’ tactics.<br /><br />And by the way, Anyone who has to call someone “dumbass” like Mr.W-Dervish to make his point can’t be firing on all cylinders, IMHO.Phil McGhttp://twitter.com/faneuilnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-639033898235940977.post-5263614615675865092009-10-30T12:37:46.377-04:002009-10-30T12:37:46.377-04:00Pam, I am NEW to the blogosphere.
